Apply Vietnam visa on arrival online

Visa on arrival is an alternative option to apply for a visa to Vietnam. This kind of visa is picked up at arrival airport and is applicable to travelers coming to Vietnam by air.

Visa on arrival is a special advantage for those who live far from the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate in their countries. The applicants neither have to go to the Embassy nor have to send out the passport. By using this way of getting Vietnam Visa, one only needs at least 2 days for normal processing and 1 day for urgent processing (or only 4 working hours for super urgent service – see Super Urgent Service) to get a pre-approval letter issued by Vietnam Immigration Department as an official permission allowing the visa applicants to get on flight and get actual visa stamped onto their passports upon arrival at Vietnam international airports.

Fill out the Vietnamese visa application form with required information

Prepare 02 passport sized photos and an amount of money (preferably in USD) required for stamping fee (US $25 for single entry visa; US $50 for a multiple entry visa valid for up to 3 months)

Put all above mentioned things along with your passport in a package, then show them to Immigration officer at Vietnam arrival airports (Noi Bai international airport in Hanoi, Tan Son Nhat international airport in Ho Chi Minh city or Da Nang airport in Da Nang city)

Upon arrival to Vietnam International Airports (Hanoi, Da Nang or Hochiminh), you present all things in the prepared package (passport, visa approval letter, 2 passport sized photos, the Vietnamese visa application form and stamping fee) to the Immigration officer to get your visa stamped.
